Abstract: An insert is provided for a mop bucket application to capture dirty water and/or clean water during floor mopping. The insert can be made of flexible PVC vinyl or of a similar substance giving the user the ability to quickly install the insert into a mop bucket. When the insert has collected the dirty water, the wringer can be quickly removed. Since the insert's bottom is flat, it will remain upright even when unsupported. The insert and contained dirty water can easily be removed by lifting the handles on the insert's two sides. The slick inside surface of the insert enables the dirty water to be poured with ease in a direct, substantially v-shaped stream. The structure of the insert preferably includes a body section which is connected at its two ends. A bottom portion forms a base for the body section, and side handles are affixed to the upper edge of the body section. A handle is secured to the outer side of the bottom portion.

Abstract: A liquid jet massage device (10) for producing selectively rotating jets of liquid for massaging the body of a user. The device (10) comprises a movable carriage (13) provided with a conduit for carrying liquid dispensed to the carriage (13) by suitable pump system. The device (10) comprises at least one, and in the preferred embodiment two, liquid dispensing primary head members (11, 12) rotatably mounted on the movable carriage (13). The primary head members (11, 12) define a liquid reservoir (42) for receiving the liquid from the conduit (32), the bottom portions (40) of the head members (11, 12) defining axial openings (46) for establishing liquid communications between the reservoir (42) and the conduit (32). The top portion of the head members (11, 12) are provided with axially displaced nozzles (45) for discharging liquid from the reservoirs (42) thereby producing jets of liquid.

Abstract: Connecting device, which may be used for the spring member of a flexible hose, comprises a web having parallel sidewalls extending therefrom. Wire-receiving slot means extend inwardly from the free edges of the sidewalls and contact portion extends forwardly from the web so that when a wire spring in a flexible hose is inserted into the slot, the connecting device will extend from the end of the hose and parallel to the axis thereof. The wire-receiving slot means has features which make it particularly suitable for spring steel wires.
